Can You Identify This Dorchester Home From 113 Years Ago?



A while ago, we asked readers if they could identify one of Dorchester's more stately larger homes as it appeared in a photograph from 1910.

It only took about 30 minutes until the correct guess came in, as the winning reader recognized the home to be that of present-day owners Dean and Becky Pracheil.

Today, we go back a year earlier to 1909. 

The photograph above shows a line of homes on "Residence Street" -- which is not a name of any Dorchester streets today. (Even an 1885 plot map of Dorchester doesn't show a Residence Street.)

Click on the photo if you need a closer view.

Let us know if you know what home this is in the forefront of the photograph.
